What a great video. No fluff, no filler, all useful information delivered in a very visual way that was easy to understand. Thank you for simplifying this process. Since this is the first tutorial of yours I've watched, I look forward to watching more!
Hey Mike, I just wanted to piggy-back all the other positive commenter's. This video has helped me understand the Substack platform IMMENSELY! I too am new to the process and without tutorials such as this, it would be more difficult. I'm ecstatic to now just dive right in and go with the flow. Thanks so much for creating this video guide, you truly are helping TONS of people to fine-tune their experience and website presentation. 10/10 🤙🙏
I thought this was absolutely excellent. Far better than even Substack has put out. I would have liked to have seen something about the video feature. Otherwise, very thorough - thank you!!
Mike, I just wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am that I found this video. I am extremely new to Substack and wanted to find a viable option where I can house my creativity; podcasts, poetry, motivational content, etc, without sending people all around the world. I want to be able to be all around the world, but have one place for people to be able to find me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! What a great explanation of each thing. I feel like an expert! I watched two others first and then came here. I STILL knew nothing until I watched your video. ***** 5 star!
I don’t often say this - one of the best explainers on RUclips I have come across - so many people whittle on without getting to the point and value. Thank you, Mike!
My man. this is a great video. I love how you walked us through it like we know nothing, because most of us don't. Too many of these other people are creating similar videos, but make large leaps and jump around, leaving some of us in the novice class feeling like this just isn't worth it. Appreciate you, Mike!
Mike, you're a truly gifted teacher. I made the decision to try Substack over its competitors based solely on being able to climb the learning curve so quickly...thanks to your video. I appreciate it!
Greetings Mike Tutorial and thank you for your generosity of time and knowledge in this video. You truly exemplify what it means to be giver and not just a taker. This tutorial is better than many paid one and yes, you did cover the ins and outs of Substack very thoroughly. Thank you and continued success in 2025 and beyond.
Thank you, Brother, I really appreciate you, this video is truly life-changing, once again, Thank You, have a great day and I look forward to your next videos.
I watched several tutorials and videos on Substack and this was truly the best for a beginner like me. Cleared so many questions. Thank you so much for taking the time.
This is the best video I’ve found about Substack. Thank you so much for explaining this. You’ve made something overwhelming into something easy. I’m sure I can set up a Substack now. ❤
Mike, YOU ROCK!! I saw Substack mentioned in a few videos, and I was REALLY interested, but hesitated because I was sure it was going to be a massive undertaking! Thank you for making is so very manageable!! You are AWESOME!!
Thank you so much Mike. I was so confused about Substack but this one video cleared 80 per cent of my doubts. Rest will be cleared when I use your techniques and make my Substack newsletter. I am so happy that I found your channel. You are doing awesome job.
At last some daylight on Substack. Many thanks. I liked the big black hand instead of a fast-moving, barely detectable cursor, such an improvement on almost all other 'how to' videos. And you actually show us what it looks like. I love this minimalist, simple approach. I don't know about other users, but I just don't want all the bells and whistles on most systems. I just want to be able to post simple information with a few pictures.
Mike, fantastic job! From start to finish your tutorial was great! I’ve been trying to help my wife pick a platform for her newsletter and with your help substack feels like it would meet her needs. Thank you!
I have heard of Substack in the past but had no clue what it was, the reason being I am almost completely technologically deficient to say the least. I ran across a RUclips video of the pod cast "fractal radio" hosted by Justin Kan where he interviewed Substack founder Chris Best. That video hooked me. Off to the side I saw several other videos and yours (this video) among them so I clicked on it. I have watched thousands of videos and I have no clue how many tutorials in the past but I honestly say this is ABSOLUTELY the very best tutorial on any subject I have ever seen. After watching these 2 videos I am now in the process of starting my own substack newsletter business and will be sure to mention you as much as I can in them for referrals. I can't thank you enough for this information.
Thank you so much, this was the most helpful substack tutorial I have listened to. No doubt I'll be coming back to it whenever I'm stuck as I'm a realy "newbie" to substack and not very good with technology as a whole.
Mike, thank you so much for this brilliant in-depth tutorial! You convey the topic in a very comprehensible way. Huge thanks for this and all the best! :)
Mike, thank you so much for this high-quality and informative tutorial video. I started on Substack a few months ago, but, in less than an hour I have learned at least half a dozen things I didn't know before, and my website now looks SO much better. All the best, and continued good luck to you. Regards, Mark
Thank you, Mike. I really appreciated how carefully you went through all this and found myself implementing your tips as I watched. (I hit pause a lot.) As someone else noted here, the greater challenge is in approaching would-be subscribers in the first place. I inadvertently subscribed 40 people, thinking I was merely inviting them to take a look and subscribe. So far, for me, anyway, Substack hasn't been as simple as it positions itself to be, at least as far as inviting potential subscribers in the first place, which is where one needs to start.
really a very helpful guide for a beginner like me. answered so many questions I had. tomorrow I'll review your video again while I work on my new site. ill go step by step and should have no problems. thank you again mike. this was the best I've seen for a newbie.
Thank you so much!!...brilliant introductory guide!. I'd been on the fence about starting a blog for a while as other platforms viewed left me uninspired and wanting. Love the way you explain and demonstrate as you go along. Inspired now to get started. This platform sounds ideal esp. for a beginner wishing to build a community and monetize their work. Huge thanks Mike!
Man, this was a golden tutorial! I had no clue about Substack, but now I feel confident enough to start building on it. btw, which tool did you use to record this tutorial? Is it Loom? How do you do it to put out the little hand where to click and to grey-out sections, like your browsing history? Great video!
Thumbs up Mike for your great deep guide ! So I see you can add affiliate direct link in your substack content? This is a new thing I not knowing much about. Does your substack content ranks good in google and brings organic free traffis or only traffic within the substack circle? Which content type converts best here article or audio podcasts? When you write long content any other day how much paid subscribers each long article will get? 5, 3 or 10's ? How make your substack article or podcast seen to the audience ? Are substack readers open minded and clicking on external affiliate links or external link to your website? (get traffic) ?
Brilliant. Thank you. I hope you end up creating more tutorials for all sorts of things, because you have an amazing teaching style. Clear, concise, interesting. Much appreciated!
Aaaww...Mike you are super helpful. This video is very clear, detailed and easy to replicate. THANKS a million. I have subscribed too coz you are worth it! Much Blessings 🙏🏾💞
Substack should repost this video on their socials. Endorsing this tutorial to make it the Bible for Substack beginners. Thanks a lot, Mikey!
Must be the first time I have ever sat through an hour long tutorial about a website. And I enjoyed it immensely Mike.
Thank you Enda :)
What a great video. No fluff, no filler, all useful information delivered in a very visual way that was easy to understand. Thank you for simplifying this process. Since this is the first tutorial of yours I've watched, I look forward to watching more!
The best substack explainer I have seen. I keep coming back for details but one view is sufficient. Thank you!!!🙏
You are welcome :)
I agree!!😊

Best Tutorial ever! THANK YOU. I feel less intimidated to get started. Substack should pay you.

Gosh. I love people who understand what true teaching is❤

Do you just share the link??
Thank you so much Mike. There's a lot I learned and will come back again to fully digest it. Wonderful job.
Hello Mike. This is a great tutorial. Is it available for people who do not have stripe in their countries?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. How do I add a 'upgrade to paid' on my about page?
You’re really good at explaining!!! So easy to understand😊👍
This is an excellent video. Everything is covered, well explained, very good flow. In fact, one of the top videos I have watched on RUclips. Thank you

Hey Mike - solid video. Did you use Camtasia or a different video editor?
Thoughts here, Mike?
For this video Premiere Pro. on my new channel, camtasia exclusively
